when i was first out on my own, i worked a lot in daycare situations, including nanny-ing....
one jewish family i worked for had a naming ceremony for their new-born daughter, to which i was invited
the father told the rabbi to substitute the word " thinking" for "loyal" in the prayer for her that celebrated her inclusion in the historicity of the jewish culture.... he told me later loyalty is not a virtue.... there were loyal nazis who obeyed unthinkingly.....
did the light just get brighter?
